If, like us, you’re unable to hang a mirror or decorate a room without first lusting over perfectly-poised homeware photos on Pinterest, you’ll be happy to learn the social media platform has just announced its biggest home decor trends in 2019.

The ‘Pinterest 100: The top trends for 2019’ outlines the new year’s trends that everyone will be pinning and sharing, covering everything from fashion and food to travel and health.

Analysing search behaviour of more than 250 million users around the world, Pinterest has honed in on what’s increasingly peaked our interest for a period of six months or longer this year to find out the next biggest trends.

When it comes to home decor, homebodies are searching everything from day-to-day DIY projects (which makes up 83 per cent of home searches) to remodels and landscaping.

So, without further ado, here are Pinterest’s top home decor trends for 2019. Paint brushes at the ready, people!
